Chapter Seventy-Nine: Incense Through the Fire
Lin Bining took Bai Yi to the incense room, and when he passed by the study, Bai Yi saw the book "Zhou Yi" on the table, and said in surprise: "I didn't expect Changru to still study "Zhou Yi", which is stronger than me back then. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 infoWhen my young husband told me, I only dozed off. Later, when I grew up and was able to meditate, I finished reading this book. "He finished watching "Zhou Yi" in the barracks.
Lin Bining smiled awkwardly: "I won't tell you, in fact, I only read one page." I just watched it to learn more about the content of the five elements of yin and yang, but "Zhou Yi" is really difficult to understand, and I only know half of it after reading it for a long time. ”
Bai Yi held the folding fan against his chin, thought for a while, and said: "If it's just the five elements of yin and yang, you can actually go to watch "White Tiger Tongyi" or "Spring and Autumn Dew", which is simpler than "Zhou Yi". I happen to have both of these books there, so I'll have someone bring them to you later. ”
Lin Bining took the incense utensils and said, "I am already very grateful for you for borrowing my book, so why bother you to send it again." I'll have someone go back with you later, and I'll get it. ”
"I'll just have someone bring it in. I also want to thank you for giving me this opportunity to move. "Bai Yi's collection of books is mostly in the palace, and he doesn't plan to reveal his identity yet.
"Okay then."
Lin Bining smiled and didn't say anything more, invited him to sit down on the big kang by the wall, and set up the "three things of the stove and bottle" on the small corset kang table in the middle. The lotus celadon incense burner is placed in the middle, on the left is a plum blossom incense box and a round incense box, and on the right is an incense bottle containing utensils such as fire chopsticks and shovels.
Bai Yi looked at these utensils and said with a smile: "Changru is going to smoke incense through the fire." ”
"Well, the cypress is oily and flammable, and the fragrance has been burned out before it is ignited, so it needs to be smoked slowly at low temperature. I have prepared a new incense pill made from cypress powder, so that you can taste the different fragrances of the two. ”
After that, Lin Bining sat sideways, took the incense chopstick, and bent it from the top left to the bottom right to level the incense ash with a curved water pattern. Bai Yiguan incense gray as white as snow, and saw that the incense carbon next to it was as black as ink, and the charcoal was delicate, so he couldn't help but say: "This is ink silver carbon, the price is more expensive than silver." Sure enough, as the legend says, before burning is like ink and after burning snow, this fragrant ash is white and delicate, without a trace of variegation. It's just that I don't know if this carbon is as rumored, a cake of fire can not be extinguished all day long? ”
Lin Bining sandwiched a piece of fragrant charcoal, put it on the fire and spun it to ignite the whole piece, and placed it on the right side of the small silver wire frame to disperse the aftertaste of the carbon itself, and said with a chuckle: "Yun Xian really has good eyesight, this carbon is ink silver carbon." Its firepower is indeed the most persistent of the incense charcoals, but it is an exaggeration to say that it will not be extinguished all day long, but it can still last for eight hours. ”
In the process of burning charcoal, Lin Bining made a hole in the middle of the incense ash, buried it in the carbon hole after the charcoal was burned, and then held the incense ash in his right hand and pressed the ash, and turned the incense burner counterclockwise with the stove in his left hand, turning while pressing until the incense ash was pressed into a cone. After that, take an incense broom to clean the incense ash on the inner wall of the furnace, press the incense ash lightly again, and then take an incense spoon and insert it vertically into the position of the charcoal fire, which is to open the skylight.
After opening the skylight, Lin Bining placed the palm of her right hand on the stove to detect the heat of the fragrant charcoal. After the size of the fire is appropriate, pick up the silver leaf and put it on the fire window, press it a little to fix it, and finally use a scent spoon to take half a spoon of cypress powder and put it on the silver leaf.
Lin Bining's movements were elegant and soothing, Bai Yi sat quietly on the side and admired, and when she finished the rear, she said with a smile: "If there is a piano at this time, it would be good if you add incense and I will stroke the piano, it is also an elegant matter." ”
Lin Bining kept moving in his hands, put the utensils back in place, shook his head and said: "It's a pity that I'm not good at music and rhythm, and I don't have a piano at home, otherwise I can still enjoy the sound of the piano in Yunxian." ”
"This time you invited me to smell the incense, so next time I invite you to listen to the piano, how about it?"
"Okay." Lin Bining actually likes to listen to the piano and enjoy music, but although she is skillful and good at embroidery, she can't play those strings well.
At this time, the fragrance of the cypress gradually dispersed, and the sweet fragrance wrapped around the nose, making people can't help but take a deep breath, hoping to smell more fragrance, slowly, the fragrance faded, and only a trace of fragrance lingered in the air for a long time.
The room is quiet, and both of them are immersed in the fragrance. After a long time, Bai Baiyi said softly: "This should be the so-called aftertaste." I've smelled a lot of incense, and it's like the first time I've smelled it quietly. A good fragrance is like a good song, and the rest of the rhyme can be around the beam for three days. It seems that in the past, I really spoiled a lot of good incense, sins and sins. ”
Lin Bining said with a rare joke: "Then if you have a good fragrance next time, you might as well hand it over to me to ensure that it will not be ruined." ”
Hearing this, Bai Yi nodded solemnly and said, "Okay." ”
The other party replied seriously, but Lin Bining didn't know how to answer for a while, coughed lightly, and said, "The incense powder is burned, let's try another incense." Then he changed a silver leaf and smoked incense pills according to the previous process.
Only then did a faint fragrance come out, and there was a sound of talking in the courtyard, and then Qing Miao came in and whispered: "Young master, the second lady has sent pastries." ”
Lin Biwen rarely set foot in Linjiang Xuan, the most recent one was because of Bai Yi, could it be that this time she was chasing Bai Yi again, and the news was well-informed enough. Lin Bining got up and said apologetically to Bai Yi: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I have something to go out for a while." ”
"Hmm." Bai Yi smiled and nodded.
Lin Bining walked to the bottom of the corridor, saw Lin Biwen with pearls, pulled the corners of her mouth and said lightly: "Why does the second sister have time to come to me today?" ”
Lin Biwen walked over, hugged her arm and said coquettishly: "People are kind enough to give hibiscus cakes to my brother, isn't my brother welcome?" ”
Lin Bining uncomfortably withdrew her hand, helped the hairpin on her head and said, "Thank you for your kindness, second sister, I will accept the pastries, but I still have something to do, so I won't keep you more." As he spoke, he waved his hand for Qing Miao to get the food box.
Since the last time she saw Bai Yi, Lin Biwen has been thinking about it, and ordered people to pay attention to the movements of Linjiangxuan's side every day. Today, I finally waited for Bai Yi to come, and did everything possible to fool Mama Yu to come out of Linglong Pavilion, and if she didn't see the other party, she wouldn't be easily sent away.
Lin Biwen raised her hand to block in front of Qingmiao, not letting her take the pastry in Pearl's hand, remembering the direction that Lin Bining came out of just now, she took the food box, motioned to Pearl to stop Qingyu, and walked quickly to the study.
"I'm tired of walking, and I'm going to your study to rest. If my brother has something to do, go and get busy, don't worry about me. ”
Lin Bining didn't expect Lin Biwen to dare to break in directly, and the stunned kung fu party had already entered the study, so angry that she immediately sank her face. Pearl had never seen the young master lose his temper, so he shrunk his shoulders and said, "It was the second young lady who asked me to do this." ”
Lin Bining ignored her at all, and only coldly ordered: "Go to Linglong Pavilion to invite Mama Yu, and say let her come and pick up the second lady back." ”
"Yes, young master." Qingyin responded, and hurriedly trotted all the way to Linglong Pavilion.
